Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - March 4, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa At Delhi Recreation Assn. Forms Corporation To Buy Dam By Mary Helle DELHI — The long, drawn out struggle since June of 1972 by Lake Delhi property owners who opposed the sale of the hydro-electric dam at Delhi by Interstate Power Co. to the Schiltz brothers of Dubuque, may be nearing an end. A corporation was formed at a meeting Sunday afternoon to buy the dam and associated rights. II. L. Donohue of West Union, head of the Delhi Recreation Assn., disclosed the latest turn of events to a packed crowd of over 400 people present at the meeting in the Maquoketa Valley school auditorium at Delhi. Sale Offered “Laverne Schiltz called Archie Cooey at the marina sev eral weeks ago and said he was interested in selling the dam rights to the Cooeys,” Donohue said. Schiltz cited three reasons for the sudden change: 1. His age. 2. He didn't want to be involved in any more controversy. 3. The death of his brother, Jack Schiltz. After meeting with the Delhi Recreation Assn. board, the Cooeys decided to pay a certain amount of money down and pick up a written option on the dam that expires May I. “But the Cooeys are not interested in owning the dam for financial reasons,” said Donohue. “And the problem is now dropped back in your laps.” He then outlined a plan to buy the dam by forming a corporation to hold title to the property which consists of about 531 acres under water and three acres near the dam. Sell Shares The new corporation “Delhi Recreation Assn., Inc.”, would be financed by the sale of shares in the company at $100 apiece to property owners. “Each stockholder would only be entitled to one vote no matter how many shares of stock he owned,” explained Donohue. “There wouldn’t be any decided advantage to owning several shares of stock,” Donohue said, “but many people were going to (buy shares) because they love this area.” Board members hope to raise at least $100,000 by sub scription agreements to buy the dam and associated rights and use the remainder for maintenance costs, taxes, an operator, and upkeep of the area. Before voting on the issue, a very vocal audience had many questions that they wanted answered. The purchase price of the dam would be $28,600. The Schiltz brothers paid Interstate Power Co. $10,000 when they purchased the property in i972. Since then they have invested about $14,000 by installing an auxiliary generating plant at that dam and other improvements, Donohue said. About 800 families are cabin owners on the river and about 500 people are members of the association. Who Can Buy? “You’ve just been talking about those directly on the river front,” said an area resident. “How about those farther back, can they buy stock?” Board member Robert Knakc, of 1031 Cheyenne road NW, Cedar Rapids, answered that the stocks were for all area property owners so that “everybody can have a say-so to keep the lake just like it is.” An additional source of income to the corporation would be the sale of the house at the dam, estimated to be worth $10,000. and attempting to clear the title to the land of the 257 property owners adjacent to the river that are willing to buy stock in the corporation. Donohue suit! that no more property assessments would be made but the possibility existed that stock in the corporation might be assessed for future needs. “There might be problems with what we are proposing,” Donohue said, “We need a dam, are we going to own it ourselves or let a private owner buy it.” Loud applause came from the audience as a man stood up and said, “We might as well pay an assessment to the association instead of to Schiltz.” lf in the future, the federal government would require a sewer system for the area, “ready-made facilities for such an operation are already inside the dam, - ’ Donohue said. None Opposed After two and a half hours of discussion, members were asked to vote on “forming a corporation for the purchase of the dam.” Affirmative votes numbered 143 and there were no objectors. Mrs. Marcheeta Cooey of Delhi, treasurer of the organ i z a t i o n , said that if enough money was going to be raised by subscription agreements to buy the dam and maintain it, “everyone is going to have to help out by contacting members that were not present at the meeting. We are going to need your help.” Reallocation of Part-Time Judicial Magistrates Begins By Harrison Weber low* Daily Pr»»i Ann. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;________ DES MOINES - The number Decatur.
